Entitled: "Compartment A-123 crews WC (head) with urinal and multiple community toilet seats, USS Olympia, Penn's Landing, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." The head (or heads) is a ship's toilet. The name derives from sailing ships in which the toilet area for the regular sailors was placed at the head or bow of the ship. A urinal is a sanitary plumbing fixture for urination only, predominantly used by males. It can take the form of a container or simply a wall, with drainage and automatic or manual flushing, or without flush water as is the case for waterless urinals.
